I’ve been growing houseplants for years, but this is the first year I’m trying to grow vegetables and herbs. I’m trying to learn all I can about my new hobby and have been watching all the gardening shows and reading all the gardening magazines I can find.

One day I think I’d like to have a larger garden (it’s all in containers right now) that has hardscaping, a water feature, permaculture, and a section totally dedicated to different varities of sunflowers.

I’m trying to grow the things that we will eat as organically as possible. The houseplants I don’t really mind puting some sort of chemical fertilizer on since I won’t be eating those. As I learn more, I’d like to do houseplants and food plants all organically.

I have a yard full of bushes, trees, and wild flowers that I need to whip back into shape, too. Right now I’m just trying to figure out what they all are so I know how to take care of them. My grandpa planted most of them, so I guess it’s sentimental value that has me doing that.
